Loving my "new to me" Raptor R. It was my Christmas present to myself. 11k miles.
I've been experimenting with the different drive modes. I've noticed that when I am in sport mode, I will occasionally hear a "clunck" sound when the engine is downshifting after a rapid acceleration. I feel the "clunck" at slower speeds, like maybe when it downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, lets say. At first I thought it was the popping sound from the exhaust, which is definitely more pronounced in sport mode, but after multiple times feeling/hearing this, it feels more like its in the transmission. Is this a normal sound yall have heard while in 4A? Not sure if I should be concerned.

Thanks, Albert.
I think I have heard the same thing once or twice in very similar situation. It almost felt like I had something kind of heavy in the bed of the truck and when I came to a stop it slid forward and hit the back of the bed. I honestly tried to re-create it but I wasn’t able to and I figured it may have been a bad pothole that I missed.

Does it keep happening to you or do you keep hearing it?
